Do the Hollywood Racks Cables and Hitch Pins Allow for the Keyed-Alike Option

Question:

I have Hollywood bike + trike rack with locking cable and locking hitch pin for 2-1/2 inch bar. Can I purchase 3 more hitch pins with the same key as I currently have? The code on the hitch is 1244. Thanks

I have a possible solution for you.

It sounds like you have the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Trike Carrier for 1 Trike and 1 Bike. This carrier came with a security system that included a cable with a lock and a hitch pin lock. Unfortunately, Hollywood Racks does not offer number-specific hitch pin locks or cables nor do they offer the keyed-alike option when buying these things separately.

Therefore, the best thing I can offer is to replace the hitch pin and cable with a non-Hollywood Racks option that allows for this. We have those very things here at etrailer.

For the cable lock, we have the Cable Lock - 10' Long - 5/16" Diameter, part # e98891. For the hitch pin, we have the Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" and 2-1/2" Hitches, part # e98881. These two can be keyed alike. Just choose the "Keyed Alike" option from the drop-down menu when ordering, and we'll make sure get them with the same key. You can order as many of these as you need. I've linked to video reviews of both of them for your consideration.
